BURGLAR ALARM & CCTV

Wireless burglar alarm or hard wired?

There really is no right or wrong answer to that. It's a personal preference depending on your needs. The main difference between a wireless and a hard wired is that a hard wired burglar alarm is generally more work and more disruption but they are also more reliable and require almost no maintenance. Whereas wireless alarms are less mess and less fuss but being wireless, the PIR sensors, door contacts and the sounder (bell) box all need their batteries replacing periodically. Usually every 2-3 years. For this however, an electrician or burglar alarm engineer is not needed.

The house was needing quite a lot of work, not least of which was needing an electrician in for a full rewire including wireless burglar alarm and CCTV, linked to the phone network that can be viewed on the customers iPhone. It's always good to do a job that's going to need a laptop as well as a good lump hammer. (No laptops were hammered in the completing of this job).
